Section B 内容概要: 本段听力材料讲的是羞怯的人常见的行为方式，他们给周围人所带来的不良影响以及这些人的内心想法。作者认为羞怯的人应该对自己有个正确而现实的认识，不要生活在一些不可能的假设之中。 11.【答案】self-conscious 【详细解答】本空所在的这一句中，前面有anxious和and，可以肯定11是一个与anxious（忧虑的）相近的形容词。再看前面的主语是shy people，那么羞怯的人一般是忧虑和忸怩。结合音，可知此空应填self-conscious（不自然的；忸怩的）。 12.【答案】Worrisome 【详细解答】从本句结构来看，空处应填一个形容词，而且修饰thoughts（想法）。羞怯的人心中常常会有什么样的想法呢？从录音中很容易听出worry这个词的音，但该词不能作形容词用。那么以worry的音开头的形容词有哪些呢？有worried， worrying， worrisome， worriless。从意思上看，worriless应该去掉。再结合该单词的后半部分发音，可知应该填worrisome（使人烦恼的）。 13.【答案】unattractive 【详细解答】本空前面讲了一串使人烦恼的想法：我会给别人留下什么样的印象？他们喜欢我吗？我听起来很愚蠢吗？我穿的是____的衣服吗？所以空处应填一形容词，表示不受欢迎的或不引人注意的意思。再结合发音，很容易听出attractive的音，但意思反了；想到其义词并根据其前缀的发音，即可猜出是unattractive。 14.【答案】adversely 【详细解答】从本句意思来看，说的是上述提及的一些不舒服的感觉会影响人们，所以这种影响肯定是负面的或不利的；再从句子结构来看，前半部分是完整的句子，所以空处应该是一个状语，只填一个词的话，那么应是一个副词。表示“负面的，不利的”含义的一个副词，再结合发音，可以得知是adversely，本词是典型的adj. + ly构成的副词。 15.【答案】reflected 【详细解答】从句子结构来看，空处是在系动词is之后，所以应填一个作表语的词或动词的过去分词表示被动语态；再看句子意思，一个人对自我的看法是通过其行为方式所____的，很明显，此处应填“反映出，表达出”含义的词；再听发音，可以得知reflected。事实上，该词的发音比较容易辨别。 16.【答案】reactions 【详细解答】此句讲的是一个人的行为方式影响别人的____，所以空处应填一个表示“情绪，反应，看法”等含义的名词；再细听音，很容易辨别为reactions。需注意的是应用其复数形式。 17.【答案】profound 【详细解答】此空前面是冠词a，后面是名词effect，所以空处应填一个辅音开头的形容词；再看句子意思，人们看待自己的方式对他们生活的各个方面产生____的影响，空处意思应为“深远的，重大的，较大的”等含义；再仔细听音，不难知道答案。 18.【答案】They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because they believe they are unworthy of praise. 【详细解答】本空要求填一个句子。填句子的基本要求是与前后句在意思上要连贯，没有语法和拼写错误。本空前面是讲羞怯的人对于批评很敏感，后面是说他们通常会说一些消极的话来回应别人的称赞，那么空处的意思应该是讲他们对待称赞的态度，而且这种态度肯定是不高兴的。其中有一个关键词compliment，后面已经出现了。再结合发音，可以得知该句是带有原因状语从句的一个复合句，从句中难点是unworthy of praise，也可以写成they don’t deserve praise。 19.【答案】It is clear that， while self-awareness is a healthy quality， overdoing it is harmful. 【详细解答】从前后文来看，本句话应是作者对前面羞怯的人所说的一句话的评论。前面一句话为“你们这样说是为了让我感觉良好，但我知道这是不真实的”，那么作者对这句话的评价肯定是否定的，因为这些人的自知之明太过了。再听音，self-awareness是一个关键词，但前面出现过类似的词，如：self-conscious， self-concept；难点是overdoing，可以根据句子意思再结合音来猜测，而且要注意变为动名词形式。同时要注意本句中间插有一个比较状语从句，要注意断句。 20. 【答案】Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem， it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. 【详细解答】本句话是回答前面的问句。前面问：羞怯感能否完全消除，或者减弱？作者紧接着侧面回答了如何来减弱。当听到since这个词引导从句时，应该想到本句又是一个带状语从句的复合句。有几个短语：hand in hand with（手拉手，紧紧相连），as well as（也……，和……一起），关键词有self-esteem（该词的形近词前面已经出现了几次），weakness和strength一对反义词。在听第二遍和第三遍时应重点抓住这些短语和关键词，整个句子便可轻松写出来。
